Sometimes the most mocked and terrible division or conference gives us the best entertainment. Big 12 football was that way this year.

Plenty of places have had it happen. Iowa State to Oklahoma, Oklahoma to Ohio State, Texas to Michigan.

It has a good shot. No El Assico that weekend. Wisconsin seems down(Alabama). Texas A&M-Notre Dame looks to be the toughest competition for the event.

Exactly, great games are great games. Great coaches are great coaches. Great players are great players. If a rivalry game is great and the result is the difference between one team or the other going bowling(Virginia vs Virginia Tech) it can be as great as a game between national title contenders.

On the one hand, it was nice to play [redacted] because of the history given we used to play them yearly. But after how close we were to losing I don't want to see them play Iowa State for 100 years.

Fox really loves us this year don't they? 5 games total.

The generational truma of ISU fans as well. My Grandpa graduated in the 1920s.

I laughed then I got sad when I realized I am probably going to fall asleep halfway through the SNF game.

It's time for Mina Kimes' book club. I'm definitely asking for that X-Men book for Christmas.

Tell me about it. *slowly looks over to a pile of books I have gotten the last 10 Christmases*

Yep, it is like the dumb "football is better when so-and-so is good" nah good football is good football a Final Four of BYU, Boise State, Army, and Indiana is just as good as one with Bama/OSU/Clemson/Texas.
